A Thursday arrest has resulted in twelve charges, nine felonies and three misdemeanors, against a Bexar man. Investigator J.T. Baker and Deputy Doyle Cross conducted a traffic stop in Calico Rock on a vehicle whose driver gave a false name but was known by officers as being Jaycob Anderson. Anderson was initially charged with obstruction of governmental operations and having no driver’s license.

Izard County Sheriff Tate Lawrence said as the investigation continued and knowing that Anderson and a female companion had been living for most of the week in a Calico Rock motel, their motel room was searched and several drug related items were located as well as two semi-automatic pistols. Several plastic bags of a green leafy substance suspected to be marijuana, a crystalline matter suspected to be methamphetamine, a bag containing prescription pills identified as oxycodone, and an assortment of drug paraphernalia known by officers for ingestion methamphetamine and/or marijuana (smoking pipes, metal spoons, new/used and loaded syringes) were located in the motel room.

Anderson, age 18 was charged with maintaining a drug premise, a class “b” felony; possession with purpose to deliver a controlled substance near a certain facility (elementary school), an unclassified felony; possession of meth, a class “d” felony; possession with intent to deliver a schedule VI narcotic, a class “d” felony, possession of oxycodone, a class “d” felony; possession with the intent of use drug paraphernalia to ingest meth, a class “d” felony; possession of drug paraphernalia to package or repackage methamphetamine, a class “b” felony; possession of a prescribed narcotic outside the original container, an unclassified felony; simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms, a class “y” felony, and possession with the intent to use drug paraphernalia to ingest marijuana, a class “a” misdemeanor. Sheriff Lawrence said the charges are a result of the team effort of the Izard County Sheriff’s Department, the Arkansas State Police, and the 16th Judicial District Drug Task Force.

Believed to be drug money, $3,813 from Anderson and the motel room was seized. Anderson is in the Izard County Detention Facility in lieu of $100,000 bond set by Circuit Judge Tim Weaver.
